Rose Shaped Bundt Cake

Bundt cakes are such a classic dessert. And there are so many different
gorgeous shaped Bundt cake pans
you can use to make them look like a work of art. Just don’t tell anyone how
easy it is and they’ll think you’re a baking genius. 😉

Today I’m sharing a beautiful but basic rose shaped Bundt cake recipe as part
of the February Thrifty Style Team challenge, hosted by my friend
Julie at Redhead Can Decorate. It’s not our typical challenge, but we’re all sharing recipes to help you
celebrate Valentine’s day this month! Scroll to the bottom of the post to see
them all.

For my recipe, I wanted to make something that was simple to make but looked
like a special occasion dessert. The secret is to use a specially shaped pan
and a bit of powdered sugar.

The
rose-shaped bundt cake pan
that I used was one that I found at a yard sale a few years ago. So this does
actually fit into our typical Thrifty Style Team parameters. The pan I found
looked like it had never been used. 

Anyway, I thought about making a red velvet cake. It would have been gorgeous
baked in this pan.

For my original, favorite pecan pie recipe, go here:

But I decided to go with a basic pound cake recipe. I looked at several and
ended up using one I found on the
Taste of Home
website. The baker used a basic Bundt cake pan, but I wanted to take it up a
notch from that.
FYI, Bundt cake pans can be used with any cake mix or basic recipe. The printable recipe for this cake is at the bottom of this post.

Here’s my husband’s favorite cookie recipe:
Old fashioned peanut butter cookies

This recipe calls for a few basic ingredients plus buttermilk, which is a
southern staple. If you don’t have buttermilk in your refrigerator you can
easily make it. Here’s how:

How to make buttermilk

You’ll need either whole milk or 2% milk and white vinegar or lemon juice. To
1 cup of milk, add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice or vinegar and stir. The
vinegar and lemon juice are both acidic and will curdle the milk slightly,
which is basically all that buttermilk is.
How easy is that?

The buttermilk makes the cake very moist and binds everything together in the
batter. 

As a finishing touch, sprinkle powdered sugar over the cooled cake with a
sugar shaker. It accentuates all of the rose petals and gives it an extra special look.
The full recipe is at the bottom of the page.

If you like peaches you’ll love this recipe:

Plus it helps hide any flaws in the cake. The center part of mine stuck to the
pan slightly, but the powdered sugar disguised it well. (I strongly recommend
using
Bakers’ Joy spray
in one of these pans)

So was it a hit with the family? YES! I served it to my husband, youngest
daughter, and her boyfriend, and they all loved it! It was moist and
delicious!
